LINKIN PARK Frontman Working On Solo Album - Aug. 4, 2005
LINKIN PARK frontman Chester Bennington is currently in the studio recording his debut solo album with producers (and ORGY members) Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. The as-yet-untitled CD is expected to be completed before the end of the year for an early 2006 release.

it's gonna sound more urban hip hop than metal.
just as linkin park is 99% hip hop, 1% rock.

what a great time to be a metalhead first we are blessed with new Nevermore and Opeth.........and now this. I predict it will rank highly in hard rock/metal history with Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood, and Appetite for Destruction. (sarcasm off)
The funny thing is that this guy will probably have less gay guest spots on his record than Tommy Lee..........

coming to a music news and forum site, expecting edge bands... and ending up with the same 30 bands over and over in the news:

ozzy, LP, Judas P, Exodus, Korn, Slayer, Metallica, Opeth, etc etc etc

maybe something could be improved but what?

man....Linkin Park would be a good band if they got rid of their singer, their backing vocals, their DJ, the little asian kid, and the rapping....

that just leaves a drummer, bass, and guitar....

Really, is this worth fretting over?

Chester Bennington is just a wierd little nerdy anime-obsessed guy --kinda like the wierd little anime obsessed friend you and I have-- and the worst he can do is carbon copy Jonathan Davis like everyone else in that generation of bands. But who cares. It's really no reason to get in a fucking huff. If we are all so obsessed with the faux-truth that pop will stop us from listening to real music, why don't we complain about everyone else, like Ricky Martin, Jessica Simpson, or Kelly Osbourne?

Because, silly bitch, it has no effect on solidly bult individuals. Pop music will always be around in one form or another, and it's for a certain group of people; and they can listen all day long. The fact that one japanime dork is having a solo-album is about as threatening to my music tastes as when Justin went solo from the Backstreet Boys.

"Backstreet's back??? Alright!"

is the only one that really shows any promise in that band. His solo won't sound at all like hip hop you moron, he's the reason why they have any rock in their sound at all. Don't get me wrong, i'm not into LP and the solo attempt will probably crash and burn like most others. But if you've ever heard any interviews with this guy you'll realize that he's all about heavy rock. No, certainly not Meshuggah or shit like that, but as long as he has most production control in this project it has a chance to rock.

Perhaps the best thing to come from this news is the hope that LP is on its way of a split. All the guys are workin on solo stuff says they're all too full of themselves now.

As gay as it gets. A double anal intercourse with some dude getting two dicks up his ass simultaneously sounds much less gay than this. Make that some dude who has 2 dicks up his ass, one in his mouth and one in each of his hands. And this album's STILL gayer by a thousanfold.

Nobody is telling you to listen to them so just don't bother saying shit like "lp sucks or chester is a shitty singer" or whatnot. I like LP and it's cool to hear something different come out of them. Mike is doing his solo rap thing and I really would like to see what Chester will do.
As for the comment about them being full of themselves, that's fucking horseshit. Out of all the big bands out there right now, these guys really take time for their fans, I have yet to see a band who plays a sold out stadium show to come to the crowd and shake hands and sign autographs (and I have been to a lot of big shows) after they finish their set.

I work in a music store, and I see firsthand sales numbers. I can tell you right now this album is going to flop. Not just because Linkin Park sucks, or the fact that Chester is one of the main reasons that LP sucks.....for the sheer simple fact that big-headed vocalists who sing like they're in a pre-pubescent garage band have absolutely nothing interesting to say. This album isn't gonna be worth the cd's its recorded on.

Well if Chester's solo album ends LP, that may be the best thing to happen all year. He goes solo, LP falls apart, and then his album flops.....LP loses all around!! Perfect!! But rest assured as soon as they're gone, 3 more bands who are even worse will appear in their place so its a never ending cycle.

LP aren't metal, I know.
They never claimed to be metal, or hip-hop, or anything, so how they can they be "Posers"?
They only ever claimed to be Linkin Park.

Metal's great, and Linkin Park's great, but they aren't the same thing.

It's not their fault they get reported about here, so try not to blame THEM for it.

With all the shit you guys posted, you forgot the credit to Amir Derakh. If you read anything, especially the info he has about himself on his personal website (www.amirderakh.com) you would realize that he is very good pick to work on Chesters solo album. Amirs past is filled with playing metal guitar, and if you look you will see that he has produced and worked with some cool ass metal bands, like Coal Chamber, Spineshank, and Danzig. Chill out, its not that big of a deal.....

first off, it sounds like i am the only Linkin Park fan in the entire place and now on to my reply. i think all of u people who are talkin shit about LP and Chester Bennington need to get ur ears checked. i mean in a time where all that is on the radio anymore is washed up green day, nsync and britney spears no talent asses, LP came in and made music actually enjoyable. Their Hybrid Theory and Meteora albums are great to listen to all the way through and they are sum of the best albums of the past 10 years. Chester Bennington is the heart of LP which shows in every song because of the power and feeling he puts into his parts in a song. So i think that his solo album will be awesome, because LP is great, plus if u listen to the Queen of the Damned soundtrack his solo song is incredible.

ok honeatly all you people who are bad mouthing linkin park. all i have to ask is WHY? like honestly its kinda pointless because we ALL have different veiws to music. ya sure you might not like lp, but honestly why make a loser of your self and say shit like that? there are some bands that i dont like(theres not many) but ya dont see me saying ' omg so and so is shit' ' he sucks he'll never make it' 'that band is so bad, they suck they can't do anything right' well ya ok so you personally dont like them that doesnt mean that you should bad mouth them like alot of you were.
oh and P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L-Y (ya see that i said personaly) i think chesters solo cd will be great, because i P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L-Y I think he has an amazing voice and i couldn't give a shit if it went down the loo and around again, because my perferences apply to me and me only.
now you all have your personal opionions, and i totally respect that. think what you want, but keep in mind that there is really no need to post shit, saying things about a band you dont like, but hell if you really feel the need to state your negative opinions about lp, or any band for that matter, its a free country noones stoping you, and its your waste of time, and i cant believe i just wasted time out of me life typeing this but what ever, i said my peace.

THANX to all of the LPU and fans out there for sticking up for the guys and shutting those dumb asses up because i was getting real sad as i saw them say all these dumb reasons they dont like the band... like because it has rap. If anyone knows anything, they should be praised for theyre fresh shit. Sure Limp Biz raps with riffs too but theyre lyrics are corny... LP's lyrics are real life problems that the majority of us have. You'll never hear me slam Metal... because even tho im black i grew up on the shit.... but LP is better than most of todays HeadBangers aside from Disturbed and KillSwitch Engage. LP is not exactly rock nor rap... not really Nu-Metal either seeing that LB and Korn fit in there and their nothing alike.... So you cant compare them at ALL. Linkin Park is praised by its fans simply because they can RELATE to their music so easily. Now about Chester Bennington's solo shit... if you've even heard the dark shit he wrote and put on Queen of The DAmned... and the effort he put in with the Home Sweet Home cover.... you can expect an all around great CD.

2: WHY THE FUCK WOULD U LEAVE THOSE SHIT COMMENTS?? JUST DONT LOOK AT THEIR NEWS AND CONTINUE TO BE JALOUSE OF THEIR SUCCESS. LOOK I DONT REALLY LOVE DEATH METAL BUT I DONT LEAVE CRAP LIKE U GUYS ON NEWS ON BANDSLIKE CANNIBAL CORPSE.
3: CHESTER'S RUNNING SHOES HAVE MORE TALENT THAN U WHO SAY HE SUCKS. CAN U MAKE MUTLI-PLATINUM MUSIC WITH UR SHITHEAD BAND PLAYING IN UR PARENTS' BASEMENT EVEN IF U ARE 21 YEARS OLD
4: LP COULD SURELY BE A DEATH METAL BAND ITS EASY. CHESTER COULD JUST DO LIKE DEATH METAL BAND'S "LEAD SINGER" , SCREAM AND SPEAK QUIELTY.
5: FOR THOSE WHO LIKES LP THEY ARE NOT GONNA BREAK . CHESTER'S ALBUM IS ACTUALLY GONNA TO BE RELEASE AFTER LP'S 2006 ALBUM.
